Perennial bolsters institutional sales team

Perennial Partners has made two senior appointments to its distribution and sales team.

Cesar Farfan, currently the firm's head of distribution head of retail distribution, has been promoted to head of distribution.

In this role, Farfan will continue to run and manage Perennial's retail distribution, marketing, and client services teams and now also take responsibility for institutional distribution.

Further bolstering Perennial's distribution capabilities, Chris Comino is joining the firm as institutional sales director.

Comino has previously held distribution roles over the past 20 years at a range of financial institutions including Merrill Lynch, HSBC Asset Management, and most recently, the Man group.

"These appointments reflect Perennial's strategic focus on equipping and resourcing our firm to better service a wholesale market in Australia that continues to institutionalise and an evolving institutional market," said Anthony Patterson, executive director of Perennial Partners.

"Our diverse range of specialist investment teams bring a range of investment solutions to the market and we look forward to doing so with Cesar and Chris in their new positions."
